For Better, For Worse

Marriage Vows Series - Book 1

Elara Celestine Andrande grew up knowing that nothing in life came easy.

Dreams had to be earned. Survival demanded sacrifice. And love was a luxury she could not afford to believe in.

Until she met him.

He was not a knight from a fairytale, and he did not have the wealth to give her the life she dreamed of. He was simply a man who chose to stay. And somehow, having someone beside her made the weight of poverty a little easier to carry.

They had no money, no certainty, and no promise that tomorrow would be kinder.

But they had each other.

So they built a life with what little they had through empty pockets, sleepless nights, failed plans, and dreams that seemed too big for the lives they were living. They struggled together, fell together, and always found a reason to stand again.

They believed that as long as they had each other, they could survive anything.

For better. For worse.

Until one mistake changed everything.

A mistake that turned love into resentment.
A secret that shattered trust.
And a truth that came too late to undo the damage.

Now, the two people who once promised to face every hardship together must face the one thing they never imagined surviving each other.

Because for better, for worse was never about choosing someone only when life was kind.

It was about choosing them when life was cruel.

But when the person you promised forever to becomes the person who hurts you the most, will love be enough to make you stay?
